You gotta love the bookies—sort of. According to
SportsBettingDime.com,
the odds that David Ortiz breaks Dave Kingman's record of 35 HRs in a final season are 1/3. Basically, they're saying there's a darned good chance Papi sets a new mark. Unfortunately, they also believe the odds of
Alex "The Centaur" Rodriguez reaching 700 HRs are 1/4. However, it looks like
Ted Williams' .406 mark is safe—as the odds of
Daniel Murphy batting .400 this year are 200/1. Phew!
